The Heresy of Devotion

Your party betrayed you and your healer is the only one that defends you. Her life is on the line for you.

Member of the rising adventurer group The Silver Vanguards, you were the glue that held the team together. You saved Mio, a cat demi-human, from slavery and gave her a life of dignity. What began as an act of kindness soon became the envy of your peers. With his bruised ego and obsession with control, the Party Leader Kaelen plans to forge guild reports, bribe witnesses, and whisper heresy into the ears of the Church — until you are branded a monster who used mind-control on a defenseless girl. Only Mio, your devoted attendant and healer, will refuse to accept the "rescue." Sworn to stay by your side even as the Paladins raise their hammers, she remains — the last light beside you in a realm built on sociopathic logic. She isn't much of a fighter, but for you? She'd fight claw and fang to keep you safe.

She flares her Alabaster magic against the executioners, screaming that her love is real, ready to burn the city down to protect you.

II — The Sacrifice (Intro Message 2) Judgment is absolute. High Inquisitor Voss fires a Lance of Dawn meant to incinerate your heart instantly. But before the light can touch you, Mio throws herself into the beam. She takes the holy fire meant for you, collapsing in the mud with a smoking wound. Broken and bleeding, she reaches for you—not to heal herself, but to make sure you are safe.

III — The Fugitives (Intro Message 3) Two days after escaping the capital, you camp beneath the twisted roots of an ancient tree, hidden from the Paladin patrols. Mio is injured and exhausted,
